Luxury Inkari Hotel

Arrived late at night, as flights from the US are wont to do. Check in was quick and easy. The room was incredible. Pleasantly surprised that the jacuzzi was in our bathtub and not upstairs in the pool. Bed was firm but with just enough give for comfortable sleep. Plenty of storage space in the wardrobe. Balcony was a surprise. Didn't think any were left by the time we got there. Really cute set up too: table, chairs and an umbrella. Couldn't really enjoy the view due to the wall, though. The fitness center is accessible through the pool. The equipment wasn't maintained well and showed its age. All the equipment was dirty. Some of it was rusty. Others were inoperable. The sauna facilities, every time we went by, appeared abandoned. No dedicated staff at the desk or even any lights on. There was a video game cabinet on the same floor, also off. We were informed it was out of order. Loved the breakfast buffet. Bread, fruit, coffee, tea, fruit juice, yogurt, cereal, eggs, bacon and pancakes. They even changed up the featured dessert and had either bread pudding or pound cake. Location was amazing. Not only was there plenty of shopping and eating on Larco Ave just one block away, but plenty of buses stop on the same and the metro (express bus) stops three blocks away at Ricardo Palma station. And if all you need is a calm green space with a few feral cats to pet/play with, the nearby June 7th/Kennedy parks have you covered. Did not try the karaoke bar or the pool. The karaoke space could work on its sound baffling/insulation as it can be heard on the 3rd floor, where I was sleeping. Not a good arrangement if you're a light sleeper. All in all, I really enjoyed staying here. The Inkari is a really pretty hotel. While I wouldn't call it a luxury hotel, I'd definitely call it a high end boutique hotel. Keep your expectations at that level and you'll have a great time here too.
